Description
Elton John wrote most of his biggest hits sitting at the keyboard, which is why these fifteen songs, from 70s radio staples to Disney favorites, feel so at home arranged for piano.
“Bennie And The Jets” keeps the stomping, staccato chords that make it recognizable within seconds, and “Rocket Man (I Think It’s Going To Be A Long Long Time)” drifts along like an astronaut clocking in for another ordinary shift. “Don’t Let The Sun Go Down On Me” brings the album’s biggest ballad, a song that only reached No. 1 in the UK and US once Elton revived it as a live duet with George Michael. “Crocodile Rock” is pure fun, a wink back at the 50s rock and roll Elton grew up on.
“Tiny Dancer” takes its time reaching that famous chorus, and the slow climb is a big part of its charm. “Can You Feel The Love Tonight (From “The Lion King”)” shows off the Oscar-winning side of his career, while “Goodbye Yellow Brick Road” waves farewell to the land of Oz with one of his most graceful melodies.
Decades after they first hit the radio, these are still the songs people request the moment someone sits down at a piano.
